'Jernanger' is a tale about Eivind, who is scared of nothing--except love. He lives aboard a boat in the South of Norway. The boat lies low and lopsided in the water. 30 years ago, Eivind left his homestead and his teenage sweetheart behind, and he has not been back since. He was meant to go back when everything was hunky-dory, only that never happened. Then young Kris appears. He wants to travel the world, but he's only gotten as far as the lifeboat of Jernanger. The two men find each other, and together they hatch a great plan.

In a world where families are limited to one child due to overpopulation, a set of identical septuplets must avoid being put to a long sleep by the government and dangerous infighting while investigating the disappearance of one of their own.
